Our family is celebrating the Feast of Unleavened Bread this week! It’s a biblical celebration that you can find in Exodus 12, Leviticus 23 and many other places in scripture. The Feast of Unleavened Bread is a continuation of Passover. You can read more about Passover in our blog ‘How We Celebrate a Gospel Centered Passover‘.
For the Feast of Unleavened Bread, we are commanded to remove the leaven from our homes and eat unleavened bread for 7 days. During this week we enjoy experimenting with different recipes! Often times we’ll get a sweet tooth during the week. Cinnamon Roll Matzah is a great way to satisfy that sweet tooth! Our family typically likes to have a breakfast night. Where we enjoy breakfast for dinner!
Matzah is a mixture of flour and water that is typically baked or cooked on a hot skillet. Some individuals add oil or honey to their dough recipe. This is something you can purchase online or in stores. Our family prefers to make it fresh at home.
Cinnamon Roll Matzah
Ingredients
- 3 cups Organic All-Purpose Flour (spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off)
- 1/4 cup Sugar
- 2 Tbsp Light Brown Sugar
- 1 1/2 Tbsp Cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 1/3 cups Water
Icing
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 2 Tbsp Milk or Water
Instructions
- Turn on oven broiler 500°
- Place the flour, salt, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon and water in a standing mixing bowl. Then slowly begin stirring until combined. Mix until dough forms a rough ball.
- Place the dough on a clean spot on your kitchen counter. Cut the dough into 8 small balls — this is easiest if you cut the ball in half, then in half again.
- On a lightly-floured surface, use your hand to flatten each ball into a 3-inch patty. Use a rolling pin to roll each patty into a 6- to 8-inch circle. The pizza crust shapes can be irregular, but the dough should be so thin. (It's good to turn the dough a few times as you roll to prevent sticking, but you don't need to worry about it too much as the dough is easy to peel of the counter.)
- Put a few pieces of the rolled-out dough on a 13 x 18-inch baking sheet. Prick the dough all over with a fork (this keeps it from puffing up too much).
- Bake on broil for 2 to 4 minutes, keeping a very close eye on them, until they are golden and puffed in spots. Flip the matzos over and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more on the second side, until golden. Repeat with all the dough and let cool completely.
- Top cooked matzah dough with icing and enjoy!
Icing
- Mix together powdered sugar, vanilla and water or milk together. Then drizzle over your cinnamon roll matzah
